Yes, the “H” in H. Upmann stands for Herman. The new H. Upmann Herman’s Batch pays homage to the brand’s founder. Altadis used a double-fermented wrapper aged four years to deliver a luxurious and complex taste. They succeeded. Sweet notes of chocolate released on the cold draw. Dry cocoa and raisin made a splash in the first third. Giant notes of cedar overtook me, fading to wood and chocolate. A final transition to wood and coffee crowned a tasty and relaxing experience. Excellent construction and spicy retrohales made a good smoke great.
